A Wheatland, Wyoming, man will serve three years in prison after stealing 688 pounds of explosives from a U.S. Forest Service bunker.

Budd Nesius, 33, pleaded guilty to possession of stolen explosives. U.S. District Judge Susan Waters sentenced him to three years in prison followed by three years supervised release. Nesiuis will also pay restitution of $1,234.65 to the Forest Service.

Kudos to author Walter Kirn for his eloquent defense of the values cherished by all who love Livingston at the recent City Council meeting. The arrogance of the Love’s Corporation speaks volumes about their undisclosed intentions.

The city commission has taken a bold step in not annexing a truck stop. Now it needs to take a bold step that affects the lives and behavior that affects every person and business in Livingston every winter day. It is the plowing of snow on city streets.

I am deeply grateful to the city commissioners for voting down the Love’s annexation, and to Walter Kirn, who eloquently supplied the reasons for doing that. The truck stop would destroy Livingston’s unique and gracious way of living. The truck stop would damage the serenity of our new hospital, bringing diesel fumes, flashing lights, noise and disorder to patients and staff, and would do the same to the animal shelter as well.
